Kobe Artists Museum

The Kobe Artists Museum occupies gallery spaces within the Kobe Fashion Museum building and focuses on contemporary art from regional creators. The rooms display paintings, sculptures, and multimedia installations that reflect the artistic diversity of the area.

The museum was founded in 2007 and became established as a venue for contemporary art within the larger fashion museum complex. Its creation was part of the cultural development that took place on Rokko Island.

The galleries display works by regional artists working across painting, sculpture, and multimedia, each presenting their own perspective on contemporary creation. Visitors can observe how local creators engage with their surroundings and express their ideas through different techniques and materials.

The entrance is affordable and the space is accessible as part of the larger Fashion Museum complex. Opening hours end in the evening, so visiting in the morning or early afternoon allows more time to view the exhibitions comfortably.

The building itself has an unusual futuristic shape that resembles a spaceship and stands out from typical museum architecture. This distinctive design makes it an interesting place to explore both the artworks and the structure itself while visiting.
